Do you have any recommendations for a vegetable garden in the low desert region?

Can you please be more specific?
Do you mean: What vegetables do well in a desert climate?
Or do you mean: Tips and tricks for growing in the desert?
Thanks!

I guess I mean both. We are new to the desert recently moving from PA. I would love to know what grows well here both through the winter and during the summer months.
I have tomatoes and peppers growing now. How often should they be watered? What kind of suppliments does the sandy soil need? What time of year can I grow lettuce and spinach?
